Composite materials based on zeolite-montmorillonite rocks and aluminosilicate wastes

The application of mineral raw materials and their wastes to modify composite materials becomes one of the promising areas of science and industry. This work presents conditions to produce composites in various systems: epoxy polymer matrix/rocks (zeolite + montmorillonite); aluminosilicate waste (coal fly ash). The properties of the initial material and the synthesized composites were studied by standard techniques, XRD and SEM. The operational properties of composites were determined: heat resistance, bending strength, tensile strength, linear shrinkage, apparent density, open porosity, water absorption and crush strength.
